THE LOYOLA MAROON Volume 57. Number 7 Loyola University New Orleans, La November 30, 1979 Homecoming weak EDITORIAL Almost every college in this country has a special aside each year to honor their alumni and theillViture alumni - their current students. This traditional communal celebration and learning ex- is commonly known as Homecoming. being the trendsetter that it is, has a rather unique way of celebrating "our" Homecoming Week. "Our" university has gone to great trouble and expense to plan a series of activities for the returning alumni which include cocktail parties, a tennis tournament and even a jazz brunch. For the students' great pleasure and enjoyment, there will be a thrilling opportunity to enter a Christmas decorating contest, sponsored by the Loyola Union. The rest of the events have been carefully planned by the Alumni Affairs Office headed by Beverly Murphy, who has done an excellent job in organizing an exciting and entertaining Homecoming - for the alumni. For the students' benefit however, the week lacks a certain something; mainly substance. According to Murphy, students were allowed to purchase $9 tickets to attend the kick-off luncheon for Homecoming Week. Unfortunately, students were not informed of this bargain and the luncheon is now practically sold out. Who is to blame for this annual student ostracism instead of celebration? The Loyola Union is responsible for organizing student-related functions and activities during Homecoming. They are passing up a great chance to involve and entertain students. The Alumni Affairs Office should try to work with the Union to produce a Homecoming that can be shared and enjoyed by both alumni and students. This is a good opportunity for different generations of Loyolians to get to know and understand each other. Why waste it? Hopefully, next year will b»' different. If the date of Homecoming Week was moved up before Thanksgiving break, the students would not be burdened with their preparation for finals. Students and alumni should have some mixed functions, including parties, athletic tournaments and even concerts. Granted Loyola no longer has a sports program to highlight Homecoming, but we still have a sense of pride in our university and this spirit is vanishing. A united Homecoming makes more sense for more people. Homecoming kichs-off BY LINDA LEAVrrr Jazz, and a tennis tournament will highlight Loyola University's 1979 Homecoming activities sponsored by the Alumni Association which begins today. The Homecoming weekend will begin with a noon luncheon in the Versailles Ballroom of the Le Pavilion Hotel. Tickets are $9 per person and students and alumni are invited. The class of 1929 will be honored as well as this year's most outstanding alumnus. Attorney Frederick J. Gisevius, Jr., a 1936 Loyola law school graduate will receive the third annual Adjuter Hominum Award. "We think that this will be the best homecoming ever," said Beverly Murphy, directress of Alumni Affairs. "Over 200 people are expected to attend." Murphy added that the only program open to students was the luncheon. The Christmas Decorating Contest sponsored by the Loyola Union in the Danna Center Friday from 2:30 p.m. until 5:30 p m. will be judged by alumni and students first, second and third pl^Hrespectively. An tournament will be held in the Rec Center on Sat., Dec. 1 at 9 a.m. Play will consist of women's and men's singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Later that evening at 7 p.m. in the St. Charles Room, a special cocktail party reuniting the classes of '44, '54 and '64 will be given. A new addition to the annual homecoming is a communications open house for all journalism, broadcast and film graduates on Dec. 1 from 6-8 p.m. in TV Studio A. The weekend winds down on Sun. Dec. 2 with the celebration of mass at 9:30 a.m. in the Most Holy Name of Jesus Church. The mass will be followed by a jazz brunch on the Danna Center Patio.

College City College needs additional support of university services according to Dr. Willie Zanders, assistant dean of City College. "Some university offices don't feel we need it," he said. According to Zanders, City College students, who attend classes Monday through Friday between 6:15 p.m. and 10 p.m., are being shortchanged. The registrar's office closes everyday during the week at 5:45 p.m., the bookstore closes at 6:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday and at 5:45 p.m. on' Wednesday through Friday; Saga closes at 6:30 p.m. seven days a week and the Orleans Room closes at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and at 6:30 on Friday evenings. "The problem is the number of students we service is seriously understated," Zanders said. He acknowledged there are 841 students registered in City College classes. The college is only credited with having 434 students registered, however. "And based on that number, when we ask for additional university support they feel we don't need it," he said. The other 407 students are taking one or more City College courses but are registered in the daytime colleges. "This semester we generated 5100.240 by serving Arts and Sciences, Business and Music Colleges," said Zanders. "And we're not getting the credit." Zanders feels additional office help for City College is also needed. There is one secretary functioning for 16 full-time and 25 part-time faculty members.
